Do you enjoy long periods? Bloating, moodiness, exhaustion and anemia? Well if you do, we have the illness for you!! It's polycystic ovarian syndrome! Its side effects are male pattern balding, she wolf hair growth on parts of your body that are otherwise hairless, an assembling of body fat around your middle that you will never get rid of and when you're old enough and have retained enough insulin...ah, we'll throw in diabetes to boot! PCOS, join us today!

Before I found out that I had PCOS, I was so invested in becoming a mother. I yearned for a child of my own, often stopping in the baby aisle of any store and gazing for hours at cute baby clothes and imagining my stomach round and heavy with my husband's child. But, it was not to be--at least not naturally. After several months of 'trying' we decided to go to the fertility clinic. Being that young, I didn't believe anything was truly wrong. Having sex for an entire month without being encumbered by a period was something I truly enjoyed. I never thought I had to have a period for the correct function of my womanly inside parts. After all, women took birth control measures that would allow them this luxury....

Being pregnant is one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life. It’s also one of the most frightening. Stretch marks, widening hips, belly fat, milk-filled breasts and what is the leakage about? Your body will commit acts you never thought possible while you’re asleep. But this is your opportunity, your chance to leave an impression on the world through the miracle that is life.

I was a young mother, and was excited to be pregnant with my first child. I worried about how good I’d be at parenting, but nothing scared me more than how this baby was actually going to come out of my body. All the videos and birthing classes in the world don’t prepare you for the reality. I was fortunate. I know some mothers may be totally opposed to having drugs when they give birth but I was not.

I have to say when I confessed on the Jackson Knight Show that I was molested, putting this out to the general public was a daunting experience. I think that as a sexual abuse victim so much of our ensuing sexual identity is wrapped up in the fact that we were abused. It's a hard thing to admit to yourself. I suppose that's also the reason that in the past I'd yo yo date and then go on a fasting diet of no relationships. This year of celibacy and abstaining from dating has been the most cathartic for me. I've stayed away from the issue of Crash Dating as it were and focused myself on more positive avenues. I'm growing more aware of myself and I'm listening to my inner voice of reason and common sense, which is something I think so many people should consider.
